12Do not show that you do not respect me by using/saying my name to falsely promise that you will do something. Do not forget that I am Yahweh, your God.
13Do not cheat anyone or steal from anyone. If you have agreed to pay your workers at the end of the day, do what you have promised; do not keep those wages until the next day.
14Do not curse deaf people, and do not put things in the path of blind people to cause them to stumble.
15Always LIT judge people fairly DOU. Do not do special favors for either poor people or rich people.
16Do not spread false rumors about other people. Do not say anything in court that would result in some innocent person being executed. I, Yahweh, am commanding this.
17Do not hate anyone. Instead, honestly rebuke those who ought to be rebuked, in order that you also will not be guilty.
18Do not try to get revenge against someone or be angry with someone for a long time. Instead, love other people like you love yourself. I, Yahweh your God, am commanding this.
19Obey my laws. Do not allow two different kinds of animals to mate with each other. Do not plant two different kinds of seed in the same field. Do not wear clothing made from two different kinds of material.
20If a man has sex with a slave woman who has been promised to marry some other man, but she has not been bought by that man and is still a slave, the man who had sex with her must be punished. But because she is still a slave, she and the man who had sex with her must not be killed.
21However, that man must bring a ram to be slaughtered at the entrance of the Sacred Tent area, to be an offering in order that he no longer be guilty for his sin.
22The priest will offer that ram to me in order that the man will be forgiven for the sin that he committed, and I will forgive him.
23When you enter the land that I have promised to give to you, and when you plant various kinds of fruit trees, you must not eat any of their fruit for three years DOU.
24In the fourth year all of their fruit must be set aside to belong to me; it must be brought to me to be an offering to praise me.
25But in the fifth/next year, you will be permitted to eat their fruit. If you do that, your trees will produce much fruit. I, Yahweh your God, am promising that.
26Do not eat any meat that still has the animal's blood in it. Do not consult spirits to find out what will happen in the future, and do not practice sorcery.
27Do not shave the hair at the sides of your heads like pagan people do.
28Do not cut your bodies when you are mourning for people who have died, and do not put tattoos on your bodies. I, Yahweh your God, am commanding this.
29Do not disgrace your daughters by forcing them to become prostitutes. If you cause them to become prostitutes, soon the land will be filled with prostitutes and all other kinds of people's wicked behavior.
30Honor my Sabbath days and revere my Sacred Tent, because I, Yahweh, live there.
